The U.S. game and international rules “are as different as chess and checkers,” he said. “It’s got to go right back to the high schools and then it’s going to take us 8-10 years to show anything.” Ingaldson told the Winnipeg Tribune “now, that’s performance. This should put Winnipeg back on the basketball map. Boys like Dave (Mills) and Scooter (Alfonso) have waited a long time for this. I was beginning to think we were never going to win this thing. Not with St. Andrew’s anyway. We sputtered all year but we seemed to get something going in practice last week. Maybe the guys got the message. I can’t say enough about Barney (Jerry). He was superb.”
